  • Diet: Gluten-Free Option Available

Description

A delightful fusion of Nordic flavors and classic burger essence featuring a unique berry mayo spread.


Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup lingonberry jam
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 ounces shaved reindeer meat
  • 8 slices turkey bacon
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices mild melting cheese
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons oil or butter for cooking


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lingonberry jam and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well blended; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix ground beef with shaved reindeer meat; form into four equal patties and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Add cheese on top to melt during the last minute.
  4. Meanwhile, cook turkey bacon in a separate pan until crispy and toast the hamburger buns in butter or oil until golden brown.
  5. Assemble burgers by spreading berry mayo on each toasted bun, layering with arugula, melted cheese patty, and crispy turkey bacon. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter option, ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of beef, and for a vegetarian option, grilled portobello mushrooms could replace the patties.
